Audience/Topic: New bloggers
Content: Not many folks will take the necessary time to write not only why bloggers use trackbacks, but also to explain how trackbacks work and how to build them. Joseph Pisano has done that in rare detail. He even adds why they don’t work in some cases. If you’re a new blogger and don’t know what trackbacks are or what they are good for. Click the title below and let this article show you.
Thank you, JP Pisano!

I always leave trackbacks if I’m commenting about an article on my site (something I do on my weekly Friday Link Day post) and I think regardless of competition between blogs, it’s a fair thing to do.
HI Techz,
I don’t even think about competition. Each blog has it’s own unique flavor and offers a special view, so the more we push together the more we all grow. If WordPress ever gets the trackbacks working again. There will be trackbacks flying from here like high heaven.
(My mom used to say stuff like that. 😛 )
I don’t think of similarly themed sites as competition, but as others who blog in the same context, I was actually speaking more from this post. I see that would apply to a more profit-centric site or even a really, really eager blogger who wants to probably hit the Top 10 on technorati.
Liz,
Thank you SO much for completing the trackback article, http://www.jpisano.com/blog/?p=42 , by responding via a trackback! It worked and all is well with the blog world!
I really appreciate reading your columns as I have only recently become aware of your site(s). Thank you for all the great advice and help you are giving out!

Hi JP,
Welcome! I only hope that the trackback worked! That could be the first in ages! The universe will not be thwarted!
Thanks for your comment and for your great article. I was sincere in every word I said about how well-written I think it was.
Liz,
Indeed it did work! I received it loud and clear in the “incoming links” section of my WordPress Dashboard. In addition, Technorati “caught” it as well.
I am very excited to be moving from the “1.0” to the “2.0” world of the internet. It is both exciting and totally cool. Thanks for your help!
